On Saturday, the long-time CEO of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-B, BRK-A) said Warren Buffett that he intended to recommend the company's board of directors to take over the deputy chairman Greg Abel at the end of the year. Abel was appointed successor to Buffett in 2021.

The announcement was made at the end of a further annual meeting, in which Buffett warn, among other things, about Trump's expansive tariff plans and that this year's market volatility was given.

If this leaves Buffett and Berkshire, Buffett said that he has no plans to sell Berkshire shares due to the change, and was not far away if necessary.

“I would still be hanging around and in some cases could be conceivable, but the final word would be what Greg in operation, in capital, whatever it may be,” said Buffett.

On Friday, Berkshire Hathaway was a record high. This year, the shares increased around 17% compared to a decrease of 3% for the S&P 500 (^GSPC). In Pre-Market, futures showed 1.8% lower on Monday.

As investors react to the news of this weekend, not only will the market discussion be influenced in the coming week, but also that Berkshire is the sieveest company in the S&P 500 and has a market capitalization north of 1.1 m (828.7 billion GBP), as the equity trade could also influence the broader market.

The Palantir (BlTR) share fluctuated between winning and loss in the Premarket trade on Monday when investors are preparing for the latest earnings report by the AI ​​software company.

Analysts expect $ 862.3 million with sales of $ 862.3 million. This is an increase of 36% compared to the previous year. The company's share price rose by more than 450% compared to the previous year.

The income is due later on Monday after the bell.

The streaming giant Netflix (NFLX) recorded on Monday, after the share price had dropped by more than 4.5% in the Premarket trade, according to a plan that was determined by US President Donald Trump to give a tariff of 100% on films that “was produced in foreign countries”.

The move is an attempt to withdraw filmmakers to the USA because they are always tempting offers through overseas nations.

“We want films in America again!” Trump wrote in a social post of truth in which he also authorized the trade department and the US trade representative to immediately start the introduction of such a tariff.

It is unclear whether the tariff for US filmmakers who make films abroad or giants with operations outside the USA applies. It is also unclear how the tariff is calculated.
